I like the one in the middle due to it being darker colors. There are more blues and purples. SO pretty!
nice start on the pool! Now to hope for no big rains!

Well of course it is raining the 2nd day of build. So we just have a huge muddy mess.
Hello Jen, I'm in Oklahoma City area. Can't wait to watch your progress and get your thoughts. I have been watching Sooners build and want to find out all I can from both of you. Looks like clear skies next week.
We are going to have a 12 or 18 inch wall with 3 sheer descents in it. What options are there for material? Thinking of tile, stacked rock or our travertine turned vertical.
I would love to see anyone else's and know what you used on it.

Oh Jen 
I am so sorry I jinxed your pool.

It is ok Kim
Wouldn't be that big of a deal but there is absolutely no where for my Labradoodle to go out without getting covered in red dirt. Oh well! Hello to pool building!

We did a stacked wall with 3 sheer descents. No water in pool yet so can't show you what it looks like going but here is the wall.
Can glass tile be used as coping? Can it just wrap around like Lisa's spa pic? Just curious....
My pool builder will use my glass tile to do the wall if I want. I am afraid of the maintenance though, thoughts?
I think it would look wonderful. There is a pool build on here from a while ago that the WHOLE pool is glass tiles! OH SO PRETTY!
I think that if you keep your water balanced and maintain your water line (every once in a while a good brushing) you would be fine using it.
The only real difference between your glass tile and "regular" tile is the amount of grout. You will have more due to size and such.
I vote do it! Of course I am not paying for it! LOL

Looks nice. Now you have a "job". Get a tape measure and go out and measure everything. Add 3 inches for the gunite.
It is deep enough? Long enough? wide enough? Are the steps set right? Benches? ect. NOW is the time to fix it if needed.

I was wondering so it is only about 3 inches for gunite? The deep end is only supposed to be 8.5 ft but I swear it looks 10.
LOL looks like or is???? It is very important to measure with a tape measure. I know MY eyes are not good with size so........I would NEVER trust my eyes.
Yes 3 inches (on average) for the gunite.
